How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Shepton Mallet?

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Look out for these signs:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Common questions in Shepton Mallet

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you cover Shepton Mallet?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Shepton Mallet from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
